1 How a Range Drum with Panoramic Sight Works
Set the distance from the gun to the target on the range drum. As you turn the drum to this setting, the sightmount with panoramic sight moves upward. This also gives you the number of propellant bag charges to use. You then load the howitzer with the projectile and bag charges before elevating the tube to agree with your range drum setting.

2 How a Range Drum with Panoramic Sight Works
As you elevate the tube to agree with the range drum setting you look to the panoramic sight’s leveling bubble. Once it is level, you stop elevating the tube.
